Kim Kardashian has added a futuristic twist to her already luxurious lifestyle, debuting Tesla’s Gen 2 humanoid robot, Optimus, in a series of entertaining videos. The SKIMS founder, known for her penchant for high-tech gadgets, shared glimpses of the advanced robot on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram Stories, leaving fans buzzing about the next big thing from Tesla.
A Robotic Companion
In the video posted to X, Kardashian playfully interacted with the robot, asking it, “Can you do this? I love you?” while forming half of a heart with her hand. To her surprise and delight, the robot completed the gesture. “You know how to do that?” she exclaimed, visibly amazed.
On Instagram, she took the fun further, teaching Optimus to blow a kiss and even winning a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The Tesla robot also showcased its ability to mimic running, wave enthusiastically, and pull off the classic “Raise the Roof” dance move.
“You’re so cute!” Kardashian gushed, emphasizing the playful, human-like qualities of the robot.
Exclusive Previews of Tesla’s Innovations
In addition to Optimus, Kardashian introduced fans to a gold-plated Tesla robot and a sleek gold Tesla Cybercab, a product yet to hit the market. While it’s unclear whether Kardashian owns these products or is simply testing them, her association with Tesla’s cutting-edge technology has drawn significant attention.
This isn’t Kardashian’s first brush with Tesla’s creations. She owns a Tesla Cybertruck and has incorporated Tesla toys into her family life. Earlier this year, her mother, Kris Jenner, gifted Kardashian’s youngest son, Psalm, a miniature Cybertruck for his fifth birthday.
“Now you match mommy, huh?” Kardashian said in an Instagram clip, smiling as Psalm enthusiastically declared his plans to “drive this to school.”
The Tesla Bot: A Glimpse into the Future
Tesla’s Gen 2 humanoid robot, Optimus, is part of CEO Elon Musk’s vision for bringing robotics into everyday life. Though widespread availability is expected by 2026, Tesla plans to begin internal use of these robots as early as 2025. Optimus is projected to cost between $20,000 and $30,000, making it a potentially accessible addition to high-tech households in the near future.
The robot’s capabilities include basic interactions, physical tasks, and a variety of human-like movements. As demonstrated by Kardashian, Optimus can seamlessly integrate playful gestures, hinting at its potential to be more than just a utility robot but also an engaging companion.
Luxury Meets Technology
Kim Kardashian’s unveiling of Tesla’s humanoid robot and unreleased products like the Cybercab exemplifies how cutting-edge technology is shaping luxury lifestyles. Her excitement and playful interactions with Optimus not only highlight Tesla’s advancements but also emphasize a growing trend: blending high-end tech with daily life.
As Tesla gears up for full production of Optimus, this glimpse into the future has sparked curiosity and excitement, leaving fans wondering what’s next in the ever-evolving world of high-tech innovation.
